military presence during the whole journey.

This morning, the Hebrew lesson begins with a small party. One of the
pupils brings a cake she has made, and prepares tea for everyone.
Another one has returned from Mecca and her excitement is still evident
The subject of the lesson is a continuation of learning the parts of the body, in the
singular and plural. This time illustration is by means of a picture of a
baby. The conversation takes place using the vocabulary learned in
previous lessons. Several women can already read the new text almost
without help. A game of agility in exercising parts of the body ends the
lesson.

The journey from Haris in the direction of Qarawat Bani Hassan
The village is quiet . On the road are carpentry workshops and shops
which are open. In the center of the village there are houses whose
colors are glowing and garish – a common sight in the West Bank. From
there we continue to Biddya, where activity is evident, and where
many of the assorted shops are open.

An army jeep is parked next to the solitary house. After a few minutes it
drives away. Along the length of the wadi, in the valley, North-East of the
Elkana settlement one can see expansion, with new houses being built
there.
